Welcome once again to T at my very dark, very wintery dining room table. Today Bleubeard and I are sharing this post with Art Journal Journey where our themes are Favorite Season or 'Tis the Season. This means today our favorite season is summertime.

Those of you who read and follow my blog know how much I dislike summer. But today, I've put that prejudice aside and grabbed two orphans

that comprise my cup and saucer.

I chose these colors because they matched the colors in the art.

These adorable children have invited us to join their summertime tea party picnic.

They have cookies, sandwiches, tea, sugar, and milk for the tea.

The little boy has brought canned food for the dog, too.

They all watch eagerly as the little girl

pours tea from the teapot into the cups.

I found this image in my stash and cannot truthfully remember where it came from. I'm sure it came from one of the freebie image sites listed on my right sidebar, though. I sized the image to fit on the page, then cut and rounded the corners using a corner punch. I used water soluble crayons to write the sentiment and color the images, but I have trouble staying within the lines, especially since I created this while watching television late one night.

Let's join these children as they enjoy a summertime tea party picnic. And of course, please join the handsome Bleubeard and me for T and at Art Journal Journey where we are hosting this month.

By now, I'm sure you know the drill. It's time to share your own drink related post. It can be
photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed
media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is
digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back
to a drink, any drink. Regardless,
please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T
gang will be by to visit. Please link only your T post and not your
blog in general. Old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday. Quite soon, I will also be able to say "and not even this year!"

That looks like an image from my childhood. Ah, nostalgia!The colour of the cups indeed matches your cup. Amazing.It's nice to be reminded of summer when it is cold and dark out. (Summer is my favorite season)Happy T-Day,Lisca

oh how I would LOVE to have a summertime tea party picnic right now!(I know you know how I feel about summer;) I love this delightful page and vintage image, especially with the doggie:) Your teacup of choice today is really pretty. Happy T day!

I think a summertime picnic would be fun. Especially if we could have T during this event too. I really love you teacup today too. It is such a pretty green and looks perfect for summer. Or this holiday season too. Have a wonderful T day. Hugs-Erika

Your tea cup is beautiful! And I love that vintage image of the children having a tea party. So cute and nostalgic. And I have to agree with you, summertime is also my least favorite season.Happy Tea Day,Kate

That's a great way to share a journal page alongside your T Day post, brings back memories of Picnic's as a child with my Teddies and Doll's. A sweet page & a beautiful glass tea cup Elizabeth.Happy T Day Hugs Tracey xx

You can't imagine how very well your page fits our morning here as it is just wonderful sunny and I think the much snow will hopefully melt a bit down. At least the birds sing and come to the feeders like they celebrate T-Day with us! This page is so lovely dear Elizabeth! YOu are the hosting queen of AJJ this month!And something wonderful happened just now to me as well... a letter from you arrived and I sit here with tears in my eyes - I am so happy and impressed with the wonderful gifts you sent! This stunning quiltlet is simply amazing - I will instantly iron it a bit as it got a fold whilst in the envelope and it will go to the wall where I can see it well ... did I tell as you showed it that I am so in love with specially THIS quiltlet with the healing heart?!You just made me soooo happy! Will post later and add the post to the link up here....
